El Dany


The Cuban reggaeton artist Daniel Muñoz -better known as "El Dany" and a member of the popular duo Yomil y El Dany- was born on January 6, 1989, and before starting his journey in the music world, he was studying medicine.

In 2009, Daniel Muñoz and Yomil Hidalgo formed a duo known as DpuntoD, gaining some recognition in nightclubs in Cuba and on social media. Although they split in 2011, they reunited in 2015, and their first single, “Tengo,” was a remix of “Truffle Butter” by Nicki Minaj.

It was released both in Cuba and Miami, and they recorded several music videos. Their debut full-length album, Doping, was released in 2015 and featured the singles "Rikaperry" and "Estamos pa to’." Their second full-length album, Sobredosis, was released in May 2016 and reached the top of the Latin album charts that summer. As a duo, Yomil y el Dandy were nominated for the Billboard Latin Music Award in 2017.

Among his successes are Chona, Qué daño fue quererte, El bombazo, Te paso a buscar, and Síguete Moviendo.

El Dany passed away in the early morning of Saturday, July 18, at the Calixto García hospital, reportedly from a cardiac arrest.
